Man, the first place I would look is at the Power Supply. If it is on the "hairy edge" of supporting your hardware and your video card kicks in to high gear when you start the game it might be pushing it over the edge. The voltage drops below the low limit and your computer shuts down and re-boots. I had that happen to me on my old POS when I installed a new video card and didn't have the power to support it
That would be my first check, after that, go through the usual things - re-seating the memory sticks etc
I removed all my memory and tried one stick at a time trying to find a bad one, and i get same results on each stick or any combination. I disassembled my video card and cleaned all the dust out of it, the temp is good. I wondered if there was something going on with the game itself but when i try other games it does the same thing so i figured its definitely a hardware issue. I think it would be weird for all my memory sticks to be bad at the same time but who knows. So it's either the memory or possibly the Power Supply. My power supply is 1000 Watt so i know it's not a lack of power, but if one of the rails is failing that cold be causing it. Do you know a way to test the power supply? Thanks.....
borrow another power supply......the easiest test...ty
